Are oil heaters common where you live? Is there no way to use an electric one with a timer instead? Or go to a library? Not sure if there's a big cultural difference at play here.
You've just explained to me how Samsung can maintain a good reputation in a way that Apple cannot using what I referred to as dumping..

I don't really understand how everyone on this thread can explain the nuances that should be what is interesting while claiming everything is the same.

Either technology/politics has changed and organizational structures we claimed in the 1980s to be both unethical and inefficient are now only unethical, or they have not changed and we are in the same cycle with these organizations as before but somehow elongated..

But no, what is interesting to HN is that there's a lot of fine detail in the physical market, but somehow when searching for any interpretation, a widget is a widget and Apple is WD and nothing interesting will ever happen again.

> Something other than just "small towns and villages exist", as both easily get classified as urban or suburban.

Even if you're being pedantic (which, as noted, is pointless and silly), small towns aren't necessarily urban or suburban. For the census, 2000 housing units or a population of 5000 are required to count, and my town is the only one that made it onto the census list within an hour of me. 20+ small towns, 6 county seats, only 1 urban area. And that urban area has only 10% of the total population of those six counties! In other words: 90% of the people within an hour of me live in rural areas even according to the census.

And, again, as noted, I think it's silly to insist on a term of art in colloquial usage. Most people, on hearing what I just said, would agree that my town is a rural town in the middle of rural counties. But even if we do use pedantic definitions, you're objectively wrong.

Matt Mullenweg: What drama should I create in 2025?
I do occasionally have a long switch statement that doesn't lend itself to be broken up. If all the branches are simple and operate on the same conceptual level, breaking them out into separate functions that wouldn't be useful anywhere else doesn't make sense to me.

But it's definitely not a frequent enough occurrance to merit replacing closing braces with lengthy names that need to be kept in sync with their opening counterpart.
What you’re describing isn’t really agnosticism. Agnosticism is about not knowing if gods exist, not about thinking their existence doesn’t matter.

The mix-and-match approach you’re describing is seems more closely related to religious syncretism.
So you actually enjoy being needlessly pedantic.

I mean this will all due respect; you need to interact face to face with people more. Learning how to talk to people like a human in a space where you can see how they react will help with:

I don't know who Matt Butts is, but what do you mean? Those are just standard tools, along with robots.txt and a siremap, for telling well-behaved crawlers what to index and not. I've used them effectively across many sites. They won't help with rude crawlers (LLM training etc.) that ignore those signals, but should work with all major search engines. What am I missing?

But yeah, I think spam should be deleted altogether, not merely hidden from search engines.
YT Music is generally as good or better for casual listening. There's a potential deal breaking quirk in that some tracks are user uploads. You can find obscure stuff that's not easily available elsewhere, but I've found quite a few tracks that are low quality CD or vinyl rips, and concert bootlegs. If you build a playlist, it's not easy to weed out the trash.

So what is important then? You can take Occam's Razor to most things in life... At the root of it we're just animals and we don't need much above subsistence to live life. Everything we enjoy and desire are just products of our culture.

I've come across a few posts recently talking about relationships and friendships. When you're in your old age and look back, this is what you remember. If chess is a proxy to that, then it's meaningful.
I enjoyed Upstream Color a lot as well, but yeah it's certainly not for everyone.

And agreed on not being spoon fed.

A prime example to the contrary was when in the Joker, spoiler alert, they had a recap showing his delusion. The movie would have been so much better if they had cut that entire segment, and just have the neighbor female act all surprised and weirded out like she did when he entered the apartment.
Ahh I missed that this wasn't classical, thank you.
> It supplies 5v at up to 50mA from a sink device like a TV.

And USB is also only supposed to supply 100 mA until the device negotiates for more.

But literally every device in the real-world just wires the port to the 5V rail with 2 A overcurrent protection and your "dumb" USB-powered fan gadget can draw as much as it wants without any negotiation.

I can totally see TVs doing the same

> you get a proof that array access is always within bounds

But the way you get 'proofs' in dependently-typed languages is just by building a tree of function evaluations that demonstrate a given logical inference at compile time, and that disappear (are translated to a unit type) when 'program extraction' is performed on the code. This is ultimately a kind of meta-programming. And in a DT language you would still need runtime checks within your extracted code to ensure that program inputs provided at runtime satisfy the logical conditions that the "proof" part of the program relies on: the need for runtime checking is thus reduced to a bare minimum, but not fully eliminated.

I never even knew that this "Ancient Language" had dependent types. Always thought it was a "modern" invention of snazzy newer academic languages like Idris, etc.

But, its easy to figure out why it didn't become popular. C/C++/any other top10 language all had free compilers available to everyone. Ada didn't during the explosive era of computing expansion. Also, not a problem nowadays with IDE auto-complete/snippets but the language was too verbose for older generation of programmers.
I feel the jump from "reading the internet" to experience has a gap in reasoning. I'm not experienced in philosophy or* logic enough(no matter how much I read, heh) to articulate it, but seems to get at the person's idea of lacking street smarts, common sense. An adult with basic common sense could probably filter out false information quicker since I can get Claude to tell me false info regularly(I still like em, pretty entertaining) which has not only factual but contradictory flaws any person wouldn't make. Like recently I had two pieces of data, then when comparing them it was blatently incorrectly(they were very close, but claude said one was 8x bigger for... idk why.)

Another commenter also mentioned sensory input when talking about the brown rat. As someone who is constantly fascinated at the brains ability to reason/process stuff before I'm even conscious of it, I feel this Stat is Underrated. I'm taking in and monitoring like 15 sensations of touch at all time. Something entering my visual field coming towards me can be deflected in half a second all while still understanding the rest of my surroundings, and where it might be safe to deflect an object. The brain is constantly calculating depth perception and stereo location on every image and sound we hear - also with the ability to screen out the junk or alter our perception accurately(knowing the correct color of items regardless of diff in color temp).

I do concede that's a heck of a lot of video data. It does have similar issues to what I said(lacks touch, often no real stereo location, good greenscreen might convince an AI of something a person intuitively knows is impossible) but the scale alone certainly adds a lot. That could potentially make up for what I see as a hugely overlooked thing as far as stimulus. I am monitoring and adjusting like, hundreds of parameters a second subconsciously. Like everything in my visual field. I don't think it can be quantified accurately how many things we consciously and subconsciously process, but I have the feeling it's a staggering amount.
Perhaps they meant censure instead of censor.
Ensure that no AI can beam moves to players brains. Tinfoil helmets, of course.
If anything it’s less of an issue with trains than with flying - time from the street to the vehicle and vice versa is smaller with trains, and train stations are generally less remote than airports.

I just took a sleeper train last night from Helsinki to the arctic circle and they had non-reclining seats with no light dimming. Got around an hours nap between 6am and 7am this morning. Took around 14 hours to go 1000km. Very much regret not paying for a proper cabin…
There’s quite a difference between casual clothes and dressing indecently. IMO jeans are fine as long as they’re inconspicuous (such as raggy jeans with holes in them or worn in such a way that the buttocks are showing) for such an event. Swimsuits are for a different type of event where if you’re showing up in trousers they would disqualify you.
The point this it out because it is true of flying. It isn't true of trains.

Most trains you can board up to the departure time. There no need to be there more than 5 minutes before. The also take you to the city centre, which is probably both where you are coming from and where you are going to.
Beautiful!

(And now we all go cross eyed trying to see if there's a pattern for factoring in there somewhere...)
Is this actual train journeys, including time traversing stations, or is it concatenated journey times? I think it might be the former, as Bristol to Paris was 4h40, Bristol to Reims was 5h52, but Paris to Reims was 46 mins. Similarly,
Brussels to Cologne/Koln 1h48, Brussels to Berlin 6h05, but Berlin to Koln 4h02. Not much different, but still enough to pique my curiosity.

FWIW the city straplines/blurbs were in English for me but the discount details [adverts?] were in French.

Seems to be based on https://github.com/juliuste/direkt.bahn.guru, the issues of which note quite a few missing stations.
I also had this device and would concur it was supposed to work without USB power, but in my experience worked extremely poorly.
> I would like to understand why numbers looks like leaves and not some other fractal like snowflakes for example (the inverse question, why biological leaves have this specific self-similar structure may yield more fruit).

Snowflakes are dendrite formations highly influenced by how nucleation happens, the graph layout choices highly impact what you will see;

Von Neumann Ordinals are possibly better approached as hierarchical branching processes, and being deterministic, Tokunaga self-similarity is one fairly elegant path to follow in the deterministic case such as this. (IMHO)
Its entertainment
For me it's the other way around, I can skim a program written in Ada and figure out what it's doing almost the immediately because it is highly structured and enforces correctness with no ambiguity through its syntax.

I can't really do the same for rust which tends to lend itself into a more confusing format.
The principle here isn’t about the dress code per se (Carlsen hasn’t made much fuss about it earlier[1]), but the fact that a minor mistake on his part (he chose the wrong pants) is being punished severely. What would would be wrong with giving him a $200 fine and warning him he would be disqualified if he didn’t abide by it next day? Why is it so important to change immediately when you’re still very much dressed acceptable? Stressing about your clothing is not what you want to do when you’re focused on making a come back.

The reason is (according to Carlsen) of course that FIDE is driven by a strict adherence of «rules» which are defined by a small set of people in power. Whenever something happens they always say «oh, but these are the rules», but the process for changing the rules is very one-sided and power driven. This was the straw that broke the camel’s back. Yet another example of a silly unnecessary rule.

To your point, we use abstractions all the damn time. They're everywhere. Even programming languages are an abstraction (especially high level ones). You and I, and everybody else here doesn't pick a cylinder and a block to write to and tell the hard drive to move it's arm into place and record the magnetic data, no we all talk about inserting a row into the DB.

Abstractions are essential to productivity or you'll never get out of the "make it from scratch" trap
If only judges and DAs were elected who'd prosecute rampant employer fraud. Any time an employer knowingly misclassifies a H1-B visa worker for financial gain, press criminal fraud charges and throw them in jail for a few months.

Widespread lawlessness is a prerequisite for tech workers to lose opportunities to imported, indentured H1-B visa workers.
> if your train leaves at 0700 you can’t plan to get there at 06:59

True, but 6:50 is plenty early enough depending on if you know the station and the size.

Getting to and from the stations are a wash because it's not like the airport drops you at the door either. Though, many EU cities have the train station near the city center which makes it easier for people to get to than the airport.
It's not but a lot of people tend to write it off for trains because it's often city center to city center with no security. So it can be (usually is) at least less overhead.

Desktop app that doesn't work any more suddenly and there's no actual support to speak of. That's already five steps below Spotify.

Plus actually shitty UX/UI people like to call good, but it lacks plenty of really really basic features. Like having control over if a song is added to the queue to be played next or last, or just being able to preview what stations are going to play (it's a minefield of an UI to try and find new songs while also not interrupt the current one).
The free plan still doesn't work. I never submitted anything. Was login gated, then forced to sign up with Google, then brought to the dashboard with 0/0 tokens, no way to submit anything, and nothing in the history.

> On the assumption that Intel is even price competitive. The Apple modem may be it.

Which is super interesting/ironic with the entire reason for an “apple modem” is due to Intels failure there a decade ago. Bonus irony for the subsequent acquisition.
Chess itself is a collection of very arbitrary rules.

They happen to be rules that people decided are fun, or interesting, or something. If the dress code isn't fun they should change it.

And for that matter... this tournament is a blitz game, itself a change of rules. Perhaps it would be well suited to a change in dress code. Formal clothes for classic chess. Show up in your PJs for a game that takes as long as brushing your teeth.
>Chess is supposed to be a game for smart people.

Rather for people with a really good memory. Which, to me, makes the game extremely boring and bland.
I like the book Man's Search for Meaning.

Per that philosophy, what carries meaning is helping others. The builds the deepest friendships. If you don't have a way to do that -- all needs are met, and people don't need help -- playing a game of Settlers or Chess is a form a socialization and helpful.

But overall, if you can work together towards some meaningful cause, that builds something deeper.

Pick one of these:

* OpenAI just went from "Let's prevent Skynet" to "Let's build Skynet for power and profit"

* Health. Pick one.

* Education.

* Food insecurity

* War on Ukraine

...

Depending on your position and personality, either try to fix it, or try to fix some small element of it. Something like "education" can be anything from tutoring one child in your neighborhood to trying to build a worldwide free online university. "Health" can be anything from organizing a sports soccer club for kids in your community to trying to cure cancer.

That's important.

Other corners:

* Causes: Abortion (saving babies versus women's rights). Gun control (2nd amendment/rule-of-law versus saving lives). Religion. vi/emacs/MS Code. Some of these appear to have a clear right/wrong (but some would argue we have no objective way to tell which is which), some do not, but if you get drawn in, these will simply suck your soul and you'll do no good. It's mostly just destructive struggle.

* Personal gain: Again, empty void.

Those are worse than chess.
Covering the main character's face in a helmet isn't great for drama.
Sounds (pun intended ;-)) intriguing. Is a specific visually perception related to specific sound, e.g. like the classic example of a musical note evoking the perception of a specific colour?

On a slightly related note, being colour blind Neil Harbisson - the world's first legally recognized cyborg - had an antenna implanted in his skull that allows him to perceive colours as sounds (musical notes and even chords, specifically); so, the inverse route in a way.

If you enjoyed Upstream Color, I highly recommend checking out Carruth's previous project, Primer, if you haven't already. It's a movie that takes a dozen rewatches to make full sense of. Natural dialogue, organic cinematography, and no hand-holding.

Upstream Color was a great movie as well, it's a shame what happened between Carruth and Amy Seimetz.
>I'm sorry but now we surely have lost the meaning of the word censored. Now it means not getting to play chess in a tournament?

Yes, we have. That ship has sailed long ago.

But, in this context, specifically, the GP might have meant 'censured' instead of 'censored' and it was autocorrect or mental confusion.

I don't think there are many penalties for breaking the international law. Clearly, in the environment where Europe's adversaries are flagrantly breaking it on the daily basis, keeping to it meticulously would be foolish and dangerous.

Just like pacifism, abiding by the international law in this case will only serve to embolden the totalitarian regimes, which neither desire peace, nor obey the law.
